Julep for June


Hey Everyone,

  So Julep for June was honestly my dream box, I don't know if they will ever be able to top this box in my eyes. Between the bright colours, the pretty pastels and the fact that most of them cover perfectly in only one coat really made it fell like Christmas in June!


Here is the overview of the entire box:


This months quote:


How true is that? Have you ever thought about "Style" that way, I know I hadn't but I am going to make an effort to start now!

For me this box was basically two sections, the brights and the pastels and even though the reddish orange colour in the second photo really had more of a pastel feel I felt like the colour was too rich to go with the others.

The Pastels:


The Brights:


Let's break it down by Box Type!

It Girl featured Char a beautiful and true bright blue colour, Bess a beautiful robins blue, and Nan a burnt orange colour. I've seen Nan in other photos and it looks like a coral cream but mine doesn't look that way! 



Classic With A Twist included Kennedy a Yellowish-Nude cream colour and Martha a very soft pink cream that reminds me of a strawberry milkshake.       



The last two are my favourite out of the whole box and we will start with BOHO Glam. Lexie was the first colour that really caught me eye when I opened my box. It's a beautiful bright yellow colour and I love yellow for doing designs with and it also came with Dianna the perfect light green. These two will look amazing together!




My second favourite and the last ones in the box came from the Bombshell type and that's just what these are BOMBSHELL colours. Raegan the most amazing hot pink cream I own, and Payton, which get's points first for having the same name as my favourite footballer but then it's all about the colour with this amazing BRIGHT green! STUNNING!



Like I said I am in LOVE with this box! I'm wearing Reagan and Dianna on my nails right now and as I'm typing this I can't help that I keep looking at my nails and thinking "how PRETTY are these!"

If you haven't tried Julep yet, you really should!

Summer's Here! Bronzer Breakdown

Hey Everyone!

  So with summer here I have become crazy about my BRONZERS! As most of you know I am a very pale girl and it's very unfortunate for me but in the summer that doesn't change, I just burn. It took me many years to learn to love bronzer but now that I have it has become a staple in my every day makeup routine.




As far as bronzer goes for me I prefer one with some shimmer because I don't use my bronzer as just a contour I use it to create a nice overall bronzey glow on my face and down my neck. My hands down favorites are Urban Decay in Baked and NARS South Beach and most recently MAC's Refined Golden from the Hey Sailor collection.


From Right to Left:
Urban Decay Baked
Tarte Park Ave Princess
MAC Hey Sailor Refined Golden
NARS South Beach
Cargo Water Resistant Bronzer
Benefit Hula

All the above bronzers except for Hula have some shimmer or shine to them but none of them have glitter flakes! I hate that because they always fall all over my face and that's not a good look for anyone!

That's all for now and I hope you are all out enjoying this awesome sunshine!
